I've just been looking into this whole subject when someoen mentioned the new voucher system.

Just in case anyone else has been making the same mistake as me....If your comune has an IMU rate higher than the standard 0.76% (e.g.

I just saw today that just paying the IMU is not enough but we have to do an 'Imposta Municipale Propria - Dichiarazione per l'anno 2012'.

I have just had to create a secure email account (PEC in Italian) so that I can communicate a SCIA with my comune. It seems this is the way it is going for most comune now.

There have been quite a few British resident in Marche who have had the Guardia di Finanza turn up on their doorstep asking them to make an appointment to produce all their bank details and property details in the UK.It seems when the person arriv

We have formed a Societa' Agricola which has puchased our new farm. I am guessing that when I pay the IMU, the F24 needs to be in the name of the Societa' as this is the owner of the property.

You sound as if you are UK tax resident and so can invoice from the UK (even if the work is performed in Italy) and pay tax there. Unless you are tax resident in Italy, it should not require any official documents etc in Italy. Of course, if you are employed on a permanent contract in Italy it would be more complicated.

Yes if you can guarantee when it will arrive and the notary and vendors are happy to accept it.

Yup - probably too early for skiing (but who knows). Boxing Day living presepi in Comunanza. New Years Eve Party under the loggia in Amandola. How long are you staying? Honestly, Christmas is a bit quiet usually - sorry :-)

Not sure about it all changing 'shortly'. Does anything happen here that quickly?

We acepted a bankers draft drawn on a Belgian bank in Euros and it took 3 weeks to clear. If we had known this we would not have accepted it. I think you'll be lucky if you find anyone to accept it to be honest. There have been no issues with Italian banks here. I would transfer it.

I'm sure you're right but I won't hold my breathe. They still haven't transferred all services to Fermo from Ascoli from the creation of the new province in 2008 so nothing will happen quickly.

I read in the paper that the 13 ASUR's will be amanlgamated into 5 large super areas to save money. Part of this will mena that 6 mountain communities' that are part of Fermo will move under Fermo for healthcare. They are: Amandola/ Montefalcone/ Santa Vittoria/ Smerillo/ Montefortino and sorry - can't remember the other one. The comune's mayors are fighting this as they were not consulted and do not want Amandola hospital to become pat of Fermo. Personally I don't care which we're under so long as we get our proper healthcover!!

If your tessera (this is the white slip of paper and not the blue plastic card) has no expiry date then becoming a permanent resident will not negate that. You actually have to become one at the end of 5 years or else you are not any type of resident as your 'temporary' residency for the 1st five years expires.

Thu, 08/04/2011 - 13:11

Strictly speaking it was called a carta di soggiorno for EU citizens and they used to last 5 years. If you had one (which no-one arriving now will have as the rules have changed) then you have to register as resident when it expires. Even if you are already resident you have to go to the anagrafe office of the comune and register as resident. If you have been here for more than 5 years then you should register as a permanent resident as Angie has done. If you dont have a carta di soggiorno then after 5 years of residency you have to go to the comune and register as a permanent resident the same. Does that explain it?
